Edito de Racine 2Wendy James Racine 2 Famous as the unforgettable blonde fronting Transvision Vamp, Wendy James has a new band RACINE. Now Wendy is taking a fervently independent approach to creating her own music. Racine 2 is the first release to feature the band. Transvision Vamp achieved worldwide fame 1988-93 with seven UK top 30 hits including the top 5 smashes I Want Your Love & Baby I Don t Care from the Pop Art and the no. 1 Velveteen albums respectively. Sexy in videos and rebellious in interviews, Wendy was everywhere, and rose to iconic status. After TVV, Elvis Costello wrote a solo album for her, Now Ain t The Time For Your Tears. Flattered by this but ultimately unsatisfied, Wendy then took a period out to learn to play and write, immersing herself in both rock n roll culture and hip-hop. Racine No. 1 (2004, One Little Indian) was just Wendy alone, performing, playing, producing, mixing and composing. But now, RACINE is a 5-piece rock n roll band and RACINE 2 is an 11-track album written and composed, produced and mixed by Wendy, played by the band and recorded in New York City where Wendy now resides. This year they ve toured the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Holland, Germany, France and Spain, and are booking more live dates through 2008. The album comes with an 11-track bonus album Racine No. 1 Demos , as Wendy maintains they were her authentic beginning to Racine. Wendy James releases Racine 2 on March 3rd 2008. A European tour to coincide is being booked.
